Stuffed Eggplant

Simplicity is beauty, just like what you are seeing now. My wife made this simple stuffed eggplant out of some available ingredients that we have in the fridge and everything went well. To tell you the truth, it was above my expectations in terms of taste and presentation — and this was done in the simplest possible way.

As you know, I and my wife (Dey) both contribute to this food blog. However, I am more outgoing (this word sound better than thick-faced)  than her, so I am the one who shoots the videos and write most of the articles. She helps a lot in terms of recipe development and she is also my top critic. We make sure that the recipes that we both publish pass our standards. For example, this stuffed eggplant recipe is beyond my definition of satisfactory — it is simply good and a must try.

You can mix and match the vegetables that you can use to stuff the eggplant with. You can try bell peppers, zucchini, or yellow squash. Serve it with ketchup or with a Filipino dipping sauce such as soy sauce with lemon.

Try this Stuffed Eggplant recipe. Cheers!
